Michael Lech Fades a Ton of Outs

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jonathan Kettle opened the action for 3,600, Michael Lech called, Chip Pettit called and the player in the small blind moved all in for 17,000. Scott Koiner flatted from the big blind, Kettle mucked and Lech moved in over the top for an additional 23,000. Pettit mucked and Koiner called after some thought.

Lech: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Koiner: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Small Blind: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, Lech's kings held - putting him at the century mark - and the small blind was eliminated.

Greg Jennings Riding an Up & Down Day

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Greg Jenning's day has been anything but smooth. He got short-stacked a few levels ago and was grinding a sub-20,000 stack. We recently caught him where John Merchant opened to 1,600 and Jennings three-bet to 5,800. Merchant called, the flop came {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Jennings quickly put in all his 5,000 chips. Merchant mucked and Jennings have over twice the starting stack.

"The Brant Hale"

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We found Brant Hale all in from the small blind on a board of {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}. An opponent in early position had bet 10,000 and Hale was all in to put his opponent at risk for about 67,000. That player decided to call with {q-}{q-} but his set was no good as Hale had binked a straight with {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The river was a brick: {3-Spades}.

"The Brant Hale ladies and gentlemen," Clint Tolbert said.

One Out Finds the Flop

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Adam Krach
Adam Krach

We found three players all in with the cards on their backs.

Adam Krach: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Aaron Massey: {a-}{q-}
Third player: {a-}{a-}

As Krach told it, Massey had jammed his last 20,000 or so and been called by the player with aces early, and then Krach shoved from the big blind with queens. Just one queen remained in the deck, but it emerged right away on the {4-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. The turn and river were {4-Diamonds} then {10-Hearts}, and Krach had Massey and the other player, who had about 75,000, covered.
